Abstract
Machine learning, or predictive modelling in general, has found its way of transforming our lives one way or another in many applications. However in some cases even scientists can be easily misled by a flood of buzzwords and unfounded claims. This talk will give a set of recommended measuring sticks for assessing a predictive model. It will also cover guidelines for deploying and monitoring a predictive model in production, instead of using and trusting its predictions forever. In this talk I will try to demonstrate these concepts with examples of our past and current machine learning and computer vision projects in Plant and Food Research.
